Germany, Portugal, and Hungary had smaller outputs, with Portugal being the only country showing a positive growth of 1.82% in 2023.

Future trends to watch include potential recovery driven by technological advancements, climate adaptation strategies, and market dynamics in the European Union. The implementation of sustainable practices and new varieties may also shape production, particularly in countries currently facing declines.
